Interest rates: A coordinating economical principle
Henrik R Clausen 11 March 2010

Geert Wilders Slams Socialist Islamic Alliance

By Atlasshrugs.com
Here in a nutshell, and something we have to yet to see our way clear of here in the States, is Wilders's essential point: that if you want to live in the Netherlands, then accept its laws, culture and people, its way of life.
If not, don't come. And if you are there, don't stay. If you accept, then you will be welcomed. Why is this controversial? It is common sense.

Global Politician 5 March 2010
By Fjordman
Some observers have compared the ongoing trial against the prominent Dutch Islam-critic Geert Wilders in the Netherlands to the case against Galileo Galilei in seventeenth century Italy. There is no question that the trial against Galileo represents a dark chapter in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, but there are some popular misconceptions regarding it.

Video: Islam is NOT a Race
MartinJWillett 5 March 2010
Islam is not a race. Exposing the dangers of Islam has nothing to do with racism. Muslims use the accusation of racism against us because they know it is an allegation that stings.

The Greek crisis is a euro crisis - Updated
By Henrik R Clausen, 16 February 2010
A lot of attention has been paid to the economical crisis in Greece. This is understandable, for Greece has broken important promises and apparently committed fraud towards the other eurozone members.

Right and Left upside down: Geert Wilders and the Tea Party Movement
PajamasMedia 25 February 2010
By Roger L Simon
Over the decades I was a Leftist, I lived under the evidently misguided belief that my side was for freedom and democracy and the other was rigid, old farts willing to do anything to preserve the ancien régime.
Well, nowhere have I been proven more wrong than Holland where the history of the last decade – from the 2002 assassination of Pim Fortuyn to the 2005 murder of Theo Van Gogh to the current controversy surrounding the trial (and political candidacy) of Geert Wilders – makes clear the we indeed live in a world upside down.
